    With his height it is probably 2B or bust for Eeles.
  2. DJL44
    They can send Dobnak down any time they want a different pitcher. Varland on Friday is likely.
  3. DJL44
    His height helps him get on base but probably limits him defensively to LF/2B.
  4. DJL44
    I guarantee they won't see Crochet or Skubal in the playoffs. We should all be thrilled if they have to match up with Chris Sale.
  5. DJL44
    Varland has pitched in 8 games of relief, which is not nearly large enough sample size to draw any conclusions.
  6. DJL44
    All 3 are out of options. Thielbar and Okert are there to matchup with lefthanded batters and they're probably better than Varland at that. They didn't trade for Richards to cut him a week later. I suppose they could option Topa and put Varland in the bullpen.

    Most of what Roger Angell wrote was plagiarized from charred scrolls.

    Farmer is going on a rehab next week according to Atteberry and Gladden.
  9. DJL44
    Is Varland better than Sands?
  10. DJL44
    It's hard to figure out what you have with a young pitcher who is likely to improve further but he didn't give up a lot of HR in the minors (0.7 per 9 innings).
  11. DJL44
    There isn't really a spot for Varland in the bullpen at the moment. Topa is likely to come up at the end of his rehab assignment which will send Dobnak back to AAA. Sands has pitched well enough to keep a spot. Richards is the new guy. They aren't releasing Okert or Thielbar to add Varland. He will have to wait until rosters expand in September.

    I keep seeing "regression" used to indicate worse performance. In math the term just means that over a large sample a player's performance will tend to their long-term baseline. Christian Vazquez has "regressed" by hitting with a .910 OPS in July which brings his stats UP to his baseline expectation. If Woods Richardson is a good pitcher, then his statline is right at expectations and regression would just mean continued performance at this level.
  13. DJL44
    Christian Vazquez had an OPS of 910 in July. He's hitting quite well lately.
  14. DJL44
    If his chase rate can get to league average, he'll be fine. I'm fine with some swing and miss in the zone if it comes with huge power when he connects. Only a few players (Vlad Guerrero) can connect for power with pitches outside of the strike zone.

    Surprised they weren't able to get an accounting firm to sponsor the banner.

    The way you have described it sounds like the umpire got it 100% correct. If the batter is out of the box and the catcher's throw had a reasonable chance to get the runner then the runner should be out due to Kepler's interference. I watched the play The umpire was 100% correct.

    Which is really weird since both teams ended up settling for prospects MUCH worse than those players from other teams. If true it is like they were more interested in hurting the Twins in 2024 than they were in improving their own ballclubs in the future.
  19. DJL44
    Any team except the Twins. Snell remaining on the Giants was the biggest surprise of the deadline for me. That is a huge lost opportunity for San Francisco. Now all they have is the downside of the contract.
  20. DJL44
    They didn't have to trade away a lot, just a little. A few prospects they probably won't miss and $5M would have brought the help they needed the most. Why is it Arizona, Seattle, Kansas City and Milwaukee can do this but not the Twins?
  21. DJL44
    There's always next year!
  22. DJL44
    He won't be cheap enough for the Twins to sign.
  23. DJL44
    Topa up, Dobnak down is the obvious move.
  24. DJL44
    The lack of action at the deadline, combined with Falvey's contract up at the end of the season feels like a vote of no-confidence in this front office.
  25. DJL44
    Wondering what it will take to get Bengard up to Cedar Rapids.
